The smart car

Tiny car, tiny price tag, tiny gasoline bill. The Smart Car, made by Daimler’s Mercedes Car Group in Hambach, France, first appeared on U.S. roads in 2008, just as prices at the gas pump were hitting record highs week after week. The timing could not have been better. Tired of emptying their wallets every time they filled their gas tanks, many U.S. drivers were thinking about downsizing from a big sport utility vehicle or pickup truck to a smaller vehicle. But were they ready for a 106-inch-long car that seated only two people? Daimler was ready to find out.
The Smart Car had a good track record in other parts of the world. From 1998 to 2008, Daimler sold more than 900,000 Smart Cars in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Australia, Mexico, and Canada. The car was cute, nimble, and unconventional—a good size for getting through crowded, narrow city streets and fitting into any tight parking spot. Not only was the purchase price highly affordable, but the excellent fuel efficiency made the car especially popular in countries where gas prices were generally high.
To bring the Smart Car to the United States, Daimler redesigned the body and engineering to meet U.S. safety standards. It added six inches to the car’s length and included four air bags, an antilock braking system, a collapsing steering column, and other safety features. It also installed a fuel saving 71 horsepower engine so that the Smart Car would go about 40 highway miles on a gallon of gasoline.
Daimler set the list price of the Smart Fortwo Pure model—the basic version of the two-seater—at $11,590. The list price of the Smart Fortwo Passion Coupe, equipped with more features, was $13,590. The list price of the Smart Fortwo Passion Cabriolet, a convertible with leather seats and additional features, was $16,590. Buyers had the option of ordering extras, like a metallic-paint finish or an alarm system, for an additional fee. Keeping the list price as tiny as the car allowed Daimler to build market share quickly.
Rather than selling Smart Cars through its regular dealer network, Daimler contracted with the Penske Automotive Group to handle distribution and sales. In another unusual move, Daimler set up a website to let buyers reserve the model of their choice and choose from six interior colors and six exterior colors on the car body’s removable panels. Three of the exterior colors were offered as part of the purchase price, while the three metallic exterior colors were offered at an extra cost. The $99 reservation fee was applied to the buyer’s purchase price once the ordered model became available. By the time Smart Cars arrived in U.S. showrooms, 30,000 people had paid for reservations.
To build customer interest prior to the U.S. launch, Daimler sent a number of Smart Cars on a 50-city U.S. tour. Nearly 50,000 members of the media and prospective car buyers took test drives. Although many reporters couldn’t resist poking fun at the tiny car (USA Today called it a “breadbox on wheels”), they all noted its high fuel efficiency and low purchase price. Initial demand was so strong that even buyers who had reserved their cars well in advance had to wait months for delivery. A few U.S. customers who didn’t want to wait paid as much as $39,000 for European Smart Cars adapted to meet U.S. safety and emissions standards.
Then gasoline prices fell from their record-high levels and the global economy plunged into recession. By 2009, the downturn was so severe that car sales plummeted across the board as U.S. consumers and businesses clamped down on buying. The combination of significantly lower gas prices and a sluggish economy put a serious dent into U.S. sales of the Smart Car. To reignite customer interest, Daimler offered low-interest financing and, for the first time, its U.S. dealers discounted the car’s retail price. In 2010, the company also introduced a limited edition electric Smart Car to appeal to buyers interested in eco-friendly alternatives to traditional gas-driven cars.
After reading this case, write a 1-2 pages paper using the APA format discussing the following question. Today, Daimler continues to face intense competition in the small-car segment

there are three samples
My SOP should be related to opening a Specialty pharmacy in the New York
My discussion topic and CA project should match

Discussion week 1
I am an RN. I am an international student and currently I am working for a specialty pharmacy in the Bronx. Initially I was hired as a specialty pharmacy nurse but then promoted to the pharmacy manager. However, my ultimate goal is to own a specialty pharmacy.

Discussion week 2
This week I did some research in pursuit of starting a specialty in pharmacy.
Review New York State board of pharmacy guidelines.
The New York State board of pharmacy is a part of NABP.
NABP was initially established to assist the state boards of pharmacy in creating uniform education and licensure standards. Our members consist of the 50 United States state boards of pharmacy, as well as the boards in District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, 10 Canadian provinces, and The Bahamas.
Today, we help support patient and prescription drug safety, through examinations that assess pharmacist competency, pharmacist licensure transfer and verification services, and various pharmacy accreditation programs. Our membership and staff combine diverse skills and backgrounds, which helps us create innovative programs that meet the public health protection needs of today – with an eye on the future(NABP website).
Staffing Goal,
In a time like this, manpower planning is critical. I have personally witnessed the effect of labor shortage on the place where I am currently employed. A new pharmacy at least would need one front desk( Must be bilingual), one pharmacist (full time), one pharmacist (part time), A delivery coordinator( must be bi ligual) and one technician.

Budgeting and resource planning
Budgeting is the key factor to any business. It acts as a fuel for any business. In order to fully fill staffing needs (Discussed above). We have to have sufficient cash flow since the pay scale is higher than other small businesses. For reference, a pharmacist get paid at least $55-60 per hour.

Discuss specific examples of where a national government making laws can either benefit or challenge us and US residents and citizens.

Part 1 and then Part two is attached

In this Unit, we are learning about federalism, and how we have both federal (national) laws and state laws. (We also have local laws, like specific city or towns, but we’ll focus only the state and federal here). We also learned about the powers of the federal government and the states to make the laws that govern us. In this discussion board, please share your thoughts about this dual system of government.
What challenges do we see with having both state and federal governments? What are the benefits?
What kinds of powers state power? Should states be given greater power/jurisdiction over its citizens? Or less?
Discuss specific examples of where a national government making laws can either benefit or challenge us and US residents and citizens.
Some recent examples include:
– Missouri state legislature passed a state law that declares invalid any federal law that they believe infringe on the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.
– Texas’s “SB8” abortion restriction law, which has had the effect of outlawing abortion services in Texas
– Supreme Court’s recent striking down of OSHA’s “vaccine or test” requirement of private employers with over 100 employees
